TX Man Who Killed 2 Children In Horror Houston Murder-Suicide Identified As Cimarron Yancy Wolfe

HOUSTON, TX (THECOUNT) — The identity of a Texas man who killed two children before turning the gun on himself in northeast Harris County has been released.

Cimarron Yancy Wolfe has been named as the man who fatally shot his young 8-year-old daughter Sarah Wolfe and 12-year-old Phillip Bernal on Thursday afternoon in the near 14000 Edgeboro Street in Houston, TX.

Wolfe then shot himself dead, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office confirms.

Wolfe was wanted on a felony warrant for theft out of Harris County. A check of his records also show he has been charged with evading arrest and burglary in the past.

The children’s grandmother said she left the house around 12:15 p.m. to go to the store, while the children were sleeping. When the woman returned home, she said the children, ages 7 and 12, were gone. Hours later, deputies were called to the horrific scene on Edgeboro. source

“It appears to be a situation of family violence where the adult male is the paternal father of one of the children,” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.

An investigation is ongoing to determine a possible motive.
